Nazca Lines - What's their Secret?

Many explanations have been put forth since passengers in airplanes flying over the region first noticed the strange "runways" and art forms. Some have suggested they are just works of art, an ancient culture's homage to the beauty and diversity of nature. Others believe there was a more practical purpose, such as astronomical calendars or representations of constellations, or they were spiritually inspired as worship of deities. Others have suggested other worldly origins. In fact, the explanations of these amazing creations have become almost as creative as the Nazca lines themselves!

Many of the Nazca line images appear to represent living creatures. Perhaps the Nasca culture, like many others, worshiped these creatures. In addition to the Dog and Tree above, there are also figures known as the Monkey and the Spider, among many others.

Many items are available for purchase adorned with Nazca Line figures.

Other creatures also feature on many items, such as the Condor, Hummingbird, and Spider seen below.
